Among the criminals handed shorter sentences than Lucy Connolly are a rapist, terror offender, domestic abuser and paedophiles.
Mrs Connolly, 42, a former childminder, was released on Thursday after serving more than 300 days behind bars.
She was jailed for 31 months after pleading guilty to one count of inciting racial hatred contrary to section 19(1) of the Public Order Act 1986 over a hastily deleted post on X shared in the aftermath of the Southport killings.

The kids will soon be back in school. And according to new data from school boards across Ontario, the number of violent incidents in schools has increased by 77% since 2018.
In fact, in 2023-24, the latest year of available data, school boards reported 4,424 violent incidents. Four of the five school boards with the highest number of violent incidents are in the Toronto area. The fifth is in Ottawa.
Nicole Blair, a 36-year-old YouTuber who once worked actively as a refugee helper, has explained why she now votes for Germany’s right-wing opposition party, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).
In 2015, during the height of the migration crisis, she spent time in Budapest, where she saw families camping without food or shelter.
Back in Germany, she threw herself into volunteer work—donating blankets, teaching children, arranging housing, and supporting newcomers. “I was totally passionate. I wanted to be a good person,” she told the Schwäbische Zeitung.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre delivered a scathing critique of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government on Tuesday, accusing the Liberals of worsening Canada’s housing crisis, driving away investment, and failing to address rising crime across the country.
Speaking in Surrey, BC, Poilievre argued that life has become “increasingly expensive, increasingly dangerous, and less pleasant” since Carney took office, arguing that the Prime Minister has doubled down on failed Liberal policies.
As Premier Doug Ford rolled out $70 million to help steelworkers affected by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, he insisted “we aren’t going to kiss his backside.”
A feisty Ford also fired a salvo Wednesday at the head of Cleveland-Cliffs, the American parent company of Stelco, for endorsing Trump’s trade war against Canada.
“I love the workers, but their owner, I got a problem with that guy,” the premier said of Cleveland-Cliffs president and CEO Lourenco Goncalves.
Ford always knows the right thing to say.
Social media has an annoying habit of ablating any remaining desire for good intellectual hygiene, so I recently clicked on a video of Joy Reid. Since being dumped from MSNBC, Reid has been making the podcast rounds. And the 40-second clip is vintage Reid; she accuses white people writ large of not being able to invent anything, rewriting history, and caps it off with a bizarre rant about Elvis that, well, completely rewrites history…
According to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), there are 51 Muslim-majority countries. Yet, none of them treats non-Muslim communities with respect and dignity. The brutality that Muslim regimes and societies inflict on non-Muslims is extreme — and children are often the target.
When it comes to discrimination against non-Muslim children, including Hindus and Christians, Pakistan is one of the most radical and alarming cases.
When globalism was hot, then-prime minister Justin Trudeau tried to be hotter by deciding that Canada has “no core identity, no mainstream,” and suggesting Canada had become a “post-national state.” Now that nationalism is back in vogue, Prime Minister Mark Carney, unwilling or unable to counter U.S. President Donald Trump’s taunts and tariff barrage, has become an odd recipient of Canada’s quest for a U.S.-like national identity. Even as he rails against America’s temperamental chief executive, he has shown little interest in curbing his country’s own protectionist policies.
Though you wouldn’t know from the smiles around the table at the White House this week, a trap has been set by Vladimir Putin designed to split the United States from its European allies. In Washington on Monday, Europe’s leaders, plus Sir Keir Starmer and Volodymyr Zelensky, agreed with Donald Trump that the killing in Ukraine should and can be ended as soon as possible. They lavished praise on Trump for reaching out to the Kremlin, despite having themselves treated Putin as a pariah for the past three years. And they even enthusiastically applauded the notion of security guarantees similar to NATO’s Article 5 “all-for-one and one-for-all” mutual defense clause as a way to safeguard Ukraine’s borders in the future.
Look at a photograph of German neo-Nazi Sven Liebich and the first thing you’ll notice is his thick handlebar moustache. So why, then, is this convicted, obviously male fascist about to be sent to a women’s prison?
With their leader back in Parliament, the Conservatives are better positioned to challenge the governing Liberals, drawing on Pierre Poilievre’s parliamentary experience and increased media attention, although the Liberals’ post-election honeymoon still presents the Tories with added challenges.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Liberal government have enjoyed a high level of support post-election as trade tensions with the United States continue.
A pro-Palestine protester was caught in a furious meltdown after a police officer accused her of ‘cultural appropriation’.
The moment was caught on video at Union Station in Washington DC amid protests reacting to a visit by Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
After being asked if her scarf was ‘cultural appropriation’, the protester reacted in shock and argued that she was ‘trying to stop a genocide’.
LMAO! A DC police officer just TRIGGERED a leftist protestor at Union Station, accusing her of “cultural appropriation” for wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh
DC cops are living their best lives right now.
And this protestor lost her sh*t pic.twitter.com/4T60Li1fX8

The U.S. State Department has once again sent the United Kingdom a clear warning: the ongoing persecution and prosecution of praying pro-lifers will not be tolerated. Their annual “United Kingdom 2024 Human Rights Report” opens with an ominous conclusion: “The human rights situation worsened in the United Kingdom during the year.”
The report noted “specific areas of concern, including … ‘Safe Access Zones’ (limiting speech rights around abortion clinics). These restrictions on freedom of speech could include prohibitions on efforts to influence others when inside a restricted area, even through prayer or silent protests.” The stark rise in antisemitism is also cited.
“Garbage in, garbage out” is a well-known aphorism that refers to the idea that the quality of the input determines the quality of output in any system. For example, if a mathematical equation is improperly stated, the answer is unlikely to be correct. The same applies to public opinion polling. If the questions asked come from biased researchers, are not given to a randomized sample of the larger population, or exceed the knowledge level of the survey participants, the results are likely to be incorrect.
